According to the official Capcom site, X will have brand new, original armor for the X Challenge mode when the game releases in July. Famitsu says -- translated by Twitter user bk2128, “X can use special weapons exceeding the series limits thanks to this armor.”

This means that X will be able to use powers from other games when attempting a Challenge. For example, a power from the first Mega Man X can be used in a Mega Man X4 Challenge.

X's new armor for the Challenges in 'Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2' Capcom/PlayerOne

In X Challenge, you get to choose up to three special weapons from nine available

You won’t be allowed to modify the set until you’ve cleared an area

There’s a total of 27 stages to be cleared

Special weapons are selected from X1 to X6

Difficulty level (Easy-Hard) determines boss strength, post-clear health, and whether remaining time carries over or not

Legacy Collection.1 and 2 may have different stages

Four Challenge stages were also confirmed on the site, which include:

Chill Penguin & Frost Walrus

Bubble Crab & Wheel Alligator

Slash Beast & Crescent Grizzly (Legacy Collection 1 only)

Web Spider & Wire Sponge (Legacy Collection 2 only)

Capcom released Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 in May for the Nintendo Switch, which included its own Challenges. They remixed classic Mega Man stages by combining multiple levels for players to clear in a set amount of time. However, for Mega Man X Legacy Collection these Challenges are boss battles that test players skills against two bosses at once, or even doing a buster-only run.
